Phoebe McInally, aged 3

It seems the debate surrounding the ability to properly domesticate all kinds of dogs is far from over. A three-year-old girl in London had her ponytail ripped off her head after a South African Boerboel dog in a public park mauled her.

Phoebe McInally was left with a large bald patch and serious bite marks across her back, before the dog turned and also attacked Phoebe’s five-year-old sister. The animal only halted its attack when their mother, Lucy, kicked it so many times it fled. She explains:

Phoebe and Alix have been left terrified and are absolutely distraught. They have used the park a lot lately and that night was a nice night for a walk. We were in the children’s flomaxbuyonline.com/flomax-price.html play area when I noticed a tyre swing and we went over to that. Then the dog just appeared from nowhere. It got a hold of Phoebe and dragged her and ripped her hair out. I managed to kick it off and pick the girls up and started to run for the car. But the dog caught up with us and started attacking us again. I threw myself on top of the girls to try and protect them but the dog managed to bite Alix before the kicks I was aiming at it seemed to distract it.

The dog in question has since been put down and its owner reported to the procurator fiscal.
